one Of the committee, in conversation

articles are being collected rapidly
They consist of everything made in the
county, and show what can be done at
home. They comprise wines, jellies, canned
goods and canned fruits of which there Is q
variety, and quaint old Indian relics, such
as arrow points. The most attractive piece
of workmanship yet received is a bistean
made entirely Of straw, by a young lady OF
the county. 1t is a very fine piece Of work.
Everybody in the county and town is very
enthusiastic, and there is hardly farmer
who has not contributed something made or
raised by himself One of the features of
Putnam's display will be the dairy of Mr..
b. w. Hunt one Of Putnams most extern
sive dairymen, who will have IL in operation
at the fair. The services of Mr.. Walls has
been secured to arrange the display.
The list of subscriptions TO date amount to

fray the expenses of the county's display.
The committee say they will order seven
cars to convey the articles to the fair.

TURN THE RAsCALs OUT
At meeting of the Democratic State
COMMITTEES this evening the special com
mittce appointed to ascertain the num-
Der of Republicans holding Fed
eral offices in Massachusetts under
the present administration and
the reason for their retention made their
report. The committee finds that the whole
number of employees in the government SER
vice in Massachusetts, including Massachu-
sets people in the government depart
ments at Washington, is 4,6l4, of
whom 3,s2s or 50 per cent, are
Republicans drawing S5,000,000 year in
salaries. The COMMITTEES found during the
Investigations that while during the latter
part of the Republican administration there
was great talk about civil SER
vice reform and competitive examinations,
there was absolutely no effort made to put
either in practice. The Commission says:
at is not merely that Republicans are found
in the civil service, as the Republicans
siderable remnant of the Republican
machine, these hide-bound party paid
offensive Republican spies in the camp, are
still reaping the reward of their uncivil
service reform, time to time giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, should be retained to
the exclusion of other citizens more deserv-
ing and equally competent-this is the ma
ture and extent of our complaint"

Methodist Preachers Listen to Him
Speak for Over an Hour.
New York, Sept. 19-Rev. Dr. McGlynn
made an address before the New York As
sociation of Methodist preachers this morn
ing which lasted an hour and half,
and was listened to by 800 min
isters and Others. Dr. McGlvnn
referred to his communication, For
preaching the Christianity / was brought
up in" and after referring to the peculiar
position in which he found himself in facing
a body so distinctively representative Of
the Protestant religion, he presented Henry
Georges land theories and defended them
as representing the cause of humanity.
When the spe aker had concluded a
gentleman offered a resolution of thanks to
DR.. McGlynn for his ''ahle eloquent and in
structive address, and wishing him God speed
in his efforts to diffuse the doctrine of the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of
man.
This created great confusion, and after a
turbulent scene, which one clergyman char
acterizsd as resembling a bear garden, the
resolution was amended by clause that al
lowed the members to reserve the right of
individual opinion concerning the land theo-
ries, and was adopted.

was threatening, but not enough so to p~~
vent q large attendance. Full fields rem
dered the results exceptionally uncertain,
and betting was lively. The racing was ex-
citing, and with a large number of horses
at the track the prospect is that 1t will sur

LONDON, Sept l9.-Neither Gent nor

TO run l20 yards foot race at Lille
Bridge to-day for the championship
of the world and R200 appeared
on the track at all. Thousands of spectators
had assembled and paid to witness the an
nounced contest. When the crowd were
made aware Of the situation they were dis
gusted and soon took revenge in a
riot. They attacked the fences, railings and
buildings on the grounds, and burned sew
eral of the latter to the ground. They part.
ly demolished two grand stands, the danc-
ing pavilion and the large assembly hall,
and set fire to the debris there collected,
forming six large bontires. They then set
fire to the wooden railings along the rail-
way, and nearly set fire to Brompton sta.
ton. They next looted the liquor saloons
in the vicinity and bomharded
windows and policemen, and .firemen with
full and empty bottles
HOSE BROUGHT INTO PLAY.

but in vain. After holding possession for
three hours the mob was dispersed, when
the police strongly reinforced, arrested a
number of rioters. The railroad Inspector
after a struggle with the mob, dropped dead
from the effects of the excitement.
The damage is enormous. Both Gent
and Hutchins had appeared on the track
in splendid condition. 1t has transpired
that Gent failed at a private trial this
morning, and that his hackers at the last
moment forbade his running, giving Hutch
ins the stakes, but saving heavy bets The
owners of the grounds refused TO return the
entrance money, and the people were doubly
enraged.
A majority of the buildings ON the grounds
were either partially or wholly demolished.
Four consta5les were severely wounded.
Three of the rioters were arrested, including
one of the ringleaders.

DUBLIN, Sept l9-At Mitchellstown to-
day the Coroner resumed his inquest over
the bodies of those slain during the recent
conflict between the police and people.
Sergt. Kirwan, of the constabulary, de-
posed that buckshot was fired from the bar
racks windows solely to defend the police
men who were then running to endeavor to
get into the barracks to escape the stones
which we're all the time coming thick and
fast upon them. When the police reached
the barracks door they could not get in,
the door being blocked. He then ordered
the firing, seeing that his own life and the
lives of the constabIes were endangered
Since he became policeman his life was
never before in more danger. After two
rounds of buckshot had been fired there
was one round of ball cartridge fired. He
was sure that the shots struck somebody.
Timothy Harrington, Secretary of the
Irish National League, in the course of the
examination denounced the witness as
murderer. The Crown counsel protested
against the use of such language and Mr..
Harrington answered: "The jury will also
call him a murderer"
EvIcTED FROM cLoNDEGoFF.
The Sheriff and a party of police
sailed i'll the yacht Shannon,
and surprised Burke, Lord Clanricardis
tenant, who occupied Clondegoff Castle, and
evicted him instantly. After the eviction
the castle was barrcaded and twenty men
were left to defend it, When the news of
the arrival of the Sheriff spread, 5000 per-
sons gathered to resist the service of the
writ, but they were too late to prevent
Burke from being evicted.

NASHVILLE FURIOUS.
The L. and N. Road Charged with Fill
ing the City with Spies,


NASHVILLE, TENN, Sept. 19.-This city
is in ferment over the presence of large
number of detectives suddenly centered
here, mainly from outside the State, and
supposed to be in the interest of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad. The people of
the county vote next Thursday on a propo-
sition to subscribe $500, 900 to the Tennes-
see Midland railroad. which is to run from
Memphis, through Nashville, to Bristol,
where it connects with the Virginia Midland
thus giving competiting line east. The
Louisville and Nashville road has been fight
ing the proposition, and it is rumored that
these detectives are here to dog employees on
election day, and see that they vote with
their employers. They are quartered at
various hotels and boarding houses There
is intense feeling, particularly as among the
imported detectives are two named Laird
and Collier, who were indicted for the muir
der of half dozen people during the riot at
East st. Louis attending the great South
western strike.
RED HOT EDITORIAL.
The american this morning says, editori-
ally: ''The city of Nashville has never be-
fore had such an insult offered as that of
bringing in for an election a gang of notori-
GUS desperadoes known in all parts Of the
United States as Pinkerton's detectives.
These men were brought here by the Louis
vile and Nashville management to be used
in the election, which it has undertaken to
defeat. On Saturday morning through a
friend from n distance we were put
in possession of the fact that a
large number of Pinkerton's detec-
tives had gone to Nashville. Putting
our force to work we found that twenty odd
had already arrived and that many more
were expected. We also found that num-
ber of men sometimes called special
agents, but really detectives of the Louis
vile and Nashville road, were on the
ground. What special purpose these secret
emissaries have been brought into our city
for at this time may be easily conjectured
Whether brought here as spies on our own
citizens, or to shadow men who work for
the Louisville and Nashville Company,
or support the Louisville and Nashville
Company and who under the pretense of
work at the polls are to be used as poll bull
lies, whether for one or all of these pur-
poses, the act is the most startling and dam
nable outrage ever perpetrated in Tennes-
see. No language can properly character
ize this indignity The men brought here
are not as supervisors of election. They
are here in a. particular interest right or
wrong, and that for the purpose of taking
life il necessary. 1t would be an insult to
authorities to warn them of their
duty. A large proportion of the men of
Nashville were once soldiers, but more
peaceable and law-abiding set of men can
not be found, yet their virtues in bearing
and forebearing seem to be misapprehended.
We can say one thing TO this gang of spies:
If they are here on any business connected
with our Thursday election, they had bet
ter do one of two things, enter a declaimer
and retire, or increase their force and go
into camp"
